History

Founded by Cleveland-based designer Davon Ford, the brand gained prominence following Ford’s appearance as a finalist on Project Runway Season 18. The label is significant for its contribution to the Midwestern fashion scene and its focus on artisanal craftsmanship within a contemporary framework. Historically, the brand serves as a vehicle for Ford’s personal narrative, merging high-fashion conceptualism with wearable art to challenge traditional standards of masculinity and garment utility.
